When evaluating funds, you should look for authenticity, meaning real funds with real earnings potential rather than products just packaged for Golden Visa applicants. Consider whether the fund will provide genuine benefit to Portugal and the EU with truly transformative impact. Evaluate the return potential and whether it’s comparable to established market benchmarks. Examine the team’s experience and track record with proven results. Look for competitive edges such as unique advantages in deal flow or access to quality startups. Assess their corporate connections and whether they have early visibility into growth opportunities. Make personal connections by having direct interactions with team members, and evaluate the responsiveness and quality of answers you receive to your detailed inquiries.
